ADHD.

In my young day, we didn't have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - we had bad behaviour, and it was for parents and teachers to deal with it. In these PC days, when you can no longer give a misbehaving child a clip round the ear, or even rebuke them in any meaningful way, it has to be given a posh name, and treated with drugs - which of course don't treat the underlying cause, but merely mask the symptoms. Can't help feeling that the old ways were best.
